Ask a stupid question

Hi guys could someone answer the following:

What does touch vs no touch game mean?

What is the version where the dealer gives the players the cards and they can check them before they are turned over and what difference does that make?

Thanks

In touch game they trow out used cards

Since the players touch and handle the cards, the cards must be discarded after the game. Players sometimes get angry when losing and rip or damage the cards. Also some players take half a minute check the cards and therefore touch games take twice as long as non touch games. The touch games are usually high limit tables of $25 or higher.

Thanks for you replies. I just want to understand what's going on when I go to play for real money. don't want to piss people off at tables for not knowing the rules.

I highly recommend not playing touch...waste of time really and annoying!

Hi Hamster, thanks for your advice.

They do look annoying and slower than other versions but I think they all use preshuffled cards or mostly all and that's what MDB+ thrives on.

Based on what I have learnt as a 'payed member' so far (ha. ha. - friendly dig) don't worry about how long it takes to play a shoe or place a bet just pick the game that's the easiest to win at.

If you want to win more and your % win rate is good (which it should be for MDB+) then play higher stakes

All the best for your playing 2015!
